The greatest sign of success for a teacher… is to be able to say:
"The [students] are now working as if I did not exist.”
– Maria Montessori
(Italian Physician and Educator; 1870-1952 )

If an individual can discover the intrinsic pleasures of learning, then becoming an independent student is a natural by-product.
I want all my students to develop into independent learners.
- Dr. Jon
Independent Students:
Can study independently
Self-motivated and confident
More likely to:
- enjoy learning
- be fascinated with a variety of subjects
– be proficient in several academic areas
- continue to learn their entire lives

As a good parent will expose their child to many articulate and literate people to facilitate their child’s language skills,
….so a good tutor will expose their student to many other tutors, teachers and resources to facilitate, broaden and deepen the student’s academic development and skills.
For me, it’s about doing whatever it takes to help students discover the joy in having….
“Eurekas!!!”
I love to hear a student say with melodic rapture……..
“Ohhhhh, now I get it!”
My Hobbies
Acoustic guitar
Online learning (love to discover and learn from a variety of online educational resources: math,physics,astronomy,history,etc.)
